Eldredge j...@jfeldredge.com ha scritto: To clarify, if the business entity has ah single name, or if the building has a single name? you should have distinct osm objects for the building and its occupants. Buildings typically are mapped as ways, get a building=* tag and in case they have a name, add a name-tag. Offices (or doctors, or any other occupant) on the other hand can be mapped as nodes (inside the building), or overlapping way, or multipolygon relation (e.g. to reuse the building geometry), get their own tags (e.g. office=*, amenity=*, etc.) and will have their own name in their own name tag. Another common way to map in osm is adding all kinds of tags (for different entities/objects) on the same geometry. I think despite this being very common it is a bad way of mapping, because it becomes unclear (especially to non-intelligent map data consumers) which tags refer to which object (while humans able to understand the language of the name might nonetheless be able to guess right/infer to which object it belongs) cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] Multistory medical office building
To clarify, if the business entity has ah single name, or if the building has a single name? One of my doctors is in a medical practice with several other doctors. This practice has a name. The practice is in an office building shared with several other medical practices. The building in turn has a name, the Anderson Building. The company that owns it is in the real-estate management business, not the medical business. 6 On August 1, 2014 3:51:02 AM CDT, Jaakko Helleranta.com jaa...@helleranta.com wrote: If the building carries a common name for all the offices I would tag it with amenity=clinic.
